Your True Identity: Adopted Child of God

Ask yourself this, what is your identity? People mostly answer that question with a title. I’m a mom. I’m a dad. A golfer, racer, vegan, cross fitter, husband or wife...whatever. But that’s not necessarily your identity. It’s regarding the world but what about your identity in Christ? Well, you’re an adopted son. A forever daughter; fully known, loved and welcomed into God’s family. That’s your identity. You don’t have to perform to stay with God. He has declared you righteous. It’s God’s gift of grace because of what Jesus did, which was the most expensive gift ever purchased, and that’s what you’re worth. You see, God’s grace is the only reason why we are out of the hole we were in. When you grab on to that thought, it can become a radical new way of seeing the relationships we are in. It defuses judgment, superiority, and classism of every kind. It’s the gift of humility inside of grace. “This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.”1 Corinthians 4:1 Be Nice. Grace Wins.FMJ
